Abstract: The rollers of a bread loader for a bread-basket conveyor in the warehouse area of a wholesale grocery cooperative jammed. A maintenance mechanic found the jammed rollers and called for assistance. A second employee arrived and went to deenergize the conveyor. While the second employee was deenergizing the conveyor, the first employee began to remove the rollers from the conveyor. He reached into the conveyor mechanism before the conveyor was deenergized. As he was adjusting the rollers, someone released the pressure, allowing the conveyor to move. The employee's arm was pulled between the rollers. His arm swelled; and, after pain from the injury increased, the injured worker was treated at a clinic.
